SITKOR European vs Japanese CD

Well,

Having both copies, I compared the two and for those who have not purchased a copy yet hopefully this will help:

Artwork/Cover: same except European is a Gatefold while The Japanese is a traditional jewel case. I like the Gatefold myself. The cd artwork is identical except for the label's logo
European comes with a few more pictures on inside cover of Gatefold: edge goes to European version

Price: No comparison European is cheaper by a landslide: Edge goes to European

Songs: The only difference is one track on each. The Japanese version hase "Change" with Billy Sheehan on Bass. The European has " Secret Life" as the extra track.
Change has a Mr Big feel(Billy Sheehan). I could picture Eric Martin singing it. The song is a straight rocker. The Chorus is alittle stale but the song is overall pretty good.
Secret Life is funky!! It is more of a Glenn Hughes song. This song could has the energy of In My Blood and Higher Places. Edge: Euopean Version

So the major difference other than price is what type of song you want as track # 9. If you want a Deep Purple meets Mr Big get the Japanese version. If you like Glenn funky, get the European version. That's my opinion, hope it helps

Maz, just out of curiosity, where is Milford? I spent a week in New Hampshire last fall (Bartlett, in the White Mountains) hiking, etc, and loved it. It's a beautiful state - if I ever moved out of Michigan, it would be near the top of my places to move to.

Hi Maz,
I have a problem - my wife won't let me buy the regular European version, without any bonus tracks......
She thinks that 2 copies is enough....

Hey Tero

Does your European version not have Secret Life? I didnt know there were 2 different copies. If so I could get the song to you
